Feature request: Ability to export location coordinates to original file/picture

[Saur0o0n]

Hi, Since a lot of my older pictures (and quite a lot of new one - from old camera) does not have location coordinates I set, for some of them, it manually. It's not an issue now, but in future when perhaps I'll need to move pictures or do some changes all this manual work will be lost. It would be great to export manually provided coordinates to original picture file. I see it could be done directly (just modify file) or with generated shell script (for manual, external usage). Any chance for this feature?

Hello!

There is a plugin called "Write Metadata". Unfortunatly this does not support the writing of GPS coordinates yet, I did change the code and it works for me because I have the same problem with a lot of old pictures or scanned pictures. I already asked plegall to include my changes, but he has not changed the code yet.

See here for more details: https://github.com/plegall/Piwigo-write_metadata

Best regards

Could you fork piwigo-write_metadata and publish your changes as a patch ? It will then be available for reviewers and maybe merged.

You can export location coordinates using ffprobe or exiftool. exiftool: exiftool -struct -n -json image.jpg ffprobe: ffprobe -hide_banner -loglevel fatal -show_error -show_format -show_streams -show_programs -show_chapters -show_private_data -print_format json image.jpg
